I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

This was originally just an impulsive guess that Lin Xu blurted out. His current state is bad enough, even if he guessed wrong, he couldn't get any worse.

But Alfred was just a little surprised, and then admitted his identity without any hesitation.

Lin Xu remembered that the first time he saw the emperor, the emperor's expression and posture were completely different from the current Alfred's appearance through this body.

However, the few times he met with the emperor afterwards, recalling it now, reveals Alfred's style everywhere.

"It's easy to recognize," Lin Xu slowly moved himself to the side of the bed. The electric shock wound was crushed back and forth by the suppressor, and a few muffled groans escaped from between his teeth. Lin Xu sat on the ground with his back against the edge of the bed and Alf Reid said, "Blonde hair, blue eyes, the same as you before, and the same bone appearance, why, you thought that you would wake up one day, and you specially bred yourself so that you can get from this face hundreds of years later. Do you want to regain some familiarity?"

This cell is basically the same style as the cell 3000 years ago, cold and dark, with no extra decorations. It seems that Alfred specially repaired the white room for Lin Xu.

He didn't answer Lin Xu's question, but just asked, "Does it hurt?"

"what?"

"electric shock."

"You can try it yourself."

"No," Alfred seemed to be joking, "I'm just an ordinary person. If I get such an electric shock, I will die on the spot."

The physique of supernatural beings is generally enhanced when they mutate, and they need to apply dozens of times the current to suppress their will. As Alfred said, this kind of electricity can kill an ordinary adult male on the spot.

"This is the plan you gave at the time, and you are very clear about it." Alfred said.

In the early days of the end of the world, the power of supernatural beings has just emerged, and it has become a great help for humans to resist zombies and mutated animals and plants. However, from the very beginning, managers have realized the uncontrollability and crisis hidden in this power.

Research on ability suppression technology was put on the agenda early, but it took a full ten years for the birth of electromagnetic field suppression technology. Before it appeared, humans used another method to control the ability users who were judged to be threatening to humans.

That is, the electric shock neckcuffs in front of him.

This design idea was originally proposed by Lin Xu. Because the technology is simple, the engineers finalized the internal and external design and put it into production soon. No matter how powerful the supernatural being is, it cannot resist the strong electric shock close to the neck.

The East Region shared the drawings with the North Region. Alfred saw the name of the designer Lin Xu written on the edge of the drawings, and made a special satellite phone call: "Is your move too cruel? Our base Those supernatural beings are very dissatisfied with the designer when they see this thing, haven't you encountered any objections?"

"Meet it, it's not important."

Alfred joked: "If one day I awaken into a supernatural being, wouldn't I have to wear the electric shock neckcuffs you designed?"

"...We will only use suppressors on those who are judged to be highly dangerous. It is a guarantee, not a shackle."

"But who is dangerous depends on your judgment."

Lin Xu didn't continue to reply to this cheap joke. Later, Alfred never got the power, but Lin Xu awakened unexpectedly.

Every time a new power transplant was performed, or his mental state fluctuated, the chief physician would ask Lin Xu to temporarily wear a suppressor to prevent the power from going wild and causing irreparable consequences.

Lin Xu had no objection to this.

There are no windows in the cell, except for a small window above the wall of the hallway where Alfred is located, which diffuses overhead light into the room.

Lin Xu said: "Yes, I understand. Now that we have met, can you pick this thing for me?"

"No," Alfred replied, he faced Lin Xu's cold and sharp eyes, "You are very dangerous."

Lin Xu turned his head to look at Alfred, the cold sunlight fell on his face, and his facial features cast sharp shadows.

In Alfred's memory, Lin Xu often had a deceptively gentle appearance when facing strangers, and because of his handsomeness and intelligence, he was able to capture friendliness when meeting people for the first time.

But memory will always automatically beautify itself, so when Alfred left the earth with the Ark fleet, he brought three photos of Lin Xu with him.

One was cut from the graduation group photo, and the other two were photos secretly taken by Lin Xu while he was reading and writing.

When the Ark Fleet was free, he would turn out these three photos to correct his memory.

One time when he was reviewing photos in his room, he met Lingjun for the first time.

Lingjun used Lin Xu's face, Lin Xu's voice, and Lin Xu's figure.

At the first moment, Alfred thought that his brain was affected by cosmic radiation, and he had some kind of hallucination.

But it turns out that Lingjun really exists, and for some reason, this alien life takes the appearance of Lin Xu.

Alfred could only guess that Lord Ling first saw the three photos in his hand when he came to the Ark Fleet.

He can't directly copy the appearance of the people on the spaceship. The existence of two people with the same appearance at the same time always makes humans feel horrified. Lin Xu has long passed away and it is difficult to resurrect, so Lingjun chose this image.

Alfred knew this was an extremely arrogant and conceited guess.

But he was never pretentious.

He knew that Lin Xu did too.

Lin Xu closed his eyes: "Okay, I'm very dangerous. Alfred, I have a question. I read the history of Marion. The first founder of the empire obviously married and had children, and died of old age. Why are you still alive?"

"It's just human cloning," Alfred didn't shy away from telling Lin Xu about this, "Why do I want to live... I want to live, that's all. Hibernation technology has allowed me to live until now, but my original body is old and useless. transfer the consciousness into the body of the offspring."

"You not only want to live, but you also want to live in youth and prosperity." Lin Xu's tone was light, but there was a hint of sarcasm.

Alfred: "Just like you."

No matter how they talk about the danger of the supernatural beings here, and use all kinds of cruel methods to control the supernatural beings, they can't erase Alfred's envy and desire for supernatural powers.

Especially after Lin Xu also awakened his abilities.

Lin Xu in Alfred's impression seemed to have no trace of time from the beginning to the end.

Lin Xu was still very young when he was studying, and after the war broke out, the two had no personal contact until Lin Xu took power in the Eastern Region, and the major regions had occasional video calls.

Later, Lin Xu was going to the North District to have an interview with Alfred, but was attacked by the awakening ability on the way, and the interview meeting ended in nothing.

Ability and genetic modification brought Lin Xu's body back to its peak state, which has been maintained until now, while Alfred relied on hibernation technology, sleeping and waking up, and spent hundreds of years in the Ark Fleet, and he was already old.

"Other than that? What else do you want?" Lin Xu asked, "If you think my existence is a threat to you and the Marion Empire, you can kill me right now, just like you killed Rawson."

If it was said that the two of them still seemed to be warm and affectionate before, but in fact they were each thinking about reminiscing about the old friendship. Once Lin Xu said the words now, the hypocrisy between him and Alfred would be completely broken.

They are no longer good friends who help each other and test each other.

This is a standoff between the beast and the hunter.

But Alfred was stunned for a moment, his expression was blank for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his words in his heart.

"I didn't want to...kill you."

Lin Xu's gray eyes stared at him.

Alfred opened his mouth, not knowing what to say next, so he simply remained silent, leaving his eyes wandering on Lin Xu.

His black hair was stuck to his forehead due to cold sweat, and the pain from the electric shock caused deep blood marks on his lower lip from being bitten.

Lin Xu's voice sounded calm, but when both of them fell silent, Alfred heard the trembling in his breathing.

The edges of the scorched black wound on the side of the neck were red and purple, and the veins were twitching.

The convulsions and pain caused by the electric shock hadn't dissipated, Lin Xu was just holding himself up to talk to Alfred.

Alfred's eyes lingered on the shocking wound.

Lin Xu was like a dehydrated carnivorous fish dragged ashore by a fishing net, or a lone wolf caught in a trap, dragging its bloody wound and threatening the predator hoarsely.

Alfred liked Lin Xu very much, and through Lin Xu's gentle disguise, he saw irony, aloofness and a complete passion for control.

He is one of the rare people who can make Lin Xu tear up his disguise and sneer and curse at others.

He was fascinated by this entanglement of pretense and reality.

But 3000 years ago, he had no chance to fight Lin Xu.After graduating, Lin Xu found a quiet job. Later, when the end of the world came, the major regional bases worked together to survive, and the distance was far away, so there was no ability or need to wage war against each other.

Finally, Lin Xu appeared in front of him like a trapped beast, and he set all the traps with his own hands, and extreme excitement spread in Alfred's body.

Seeing Alfred's unpredictable expression, Lin Xu frowned more and more.

Why did Alfred replace the electromagnetic field suppressor with a neckcuff suppressor?From a security point of view, the former has stronger performance and can completely suppress the ability.

And the latter... it looks like some kind of torture device, humiliating even more than controlling.

Alfred...

Lin Xu's eyes dimmed. He got ready and activated his ability. The strong electric current struck again, the tremor was even stronger than the previous one, and a burst of white smoke came out of the electric shock.

"Ah—" Even though Lin Xu was mentally prepared, when the electric shock really hit, the intense pain still made his eyes go black, and he rolled and curled up on the ground, like a shrimp dropped into boiling water.

After a while, the electric shock stopped, Lin Xu's expression was painful, his chest heaved and he was gasping for breath, as if on the verge of fainting, Alfred got up in surprise the moment the electric shock reappeared, turned on the optical brain, and was ready to call the doctor in at any time.

After a while, Lin Xu managed to regain his strength. He tremblingly crawled towards Alfred, grabbed the iron railing and pulled himself up.

But he couldn't stand at all, and he leaned against the railing.

"Alfred Nobson..." Lin Xu gritted his teeth tremblingly, in a panic.

Alfred was so stared at by him, his adrenaline soared, his blood flowed rapidly, all doctors and treatments disappeared in his mind, his Adam's apple moved, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to approach Lin Xu.

Lin Xu's teeth were chattering.

Alfred reached out his hand, he wanted to touch Lin Xu's cheek.

He knew that he was a pervert now, and he also clearly knew what a normal person with morality and conscience should do at this time. All of Alfred's appearances of morality and goodness were for this moment.

Lin Xu is also a lunatic, and Alfred knows this clearly.

Lin Xu also likes to control, likes to watch people collapse, so... can Lin Xu guess all his actions?

The moment Alfred's fingers touched the side of Lin Xu's face, a fist slammed into Alfred's face, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly.

The fragile capillaries in the nasal cavity burst instantly, and blood splashed on Lin Xu's fist. Alfred was knocked back again and again by the force, and finally hit the wall.

Lin Xu stood up completely while holding the railing, and looked at Alfred who slid on the ground with a frosty face.

He knew how Alfred would act, and this punch was always in his plan.
